Hello. Trying to get help from a legitimate Microsoft Agent or Staff. I hope you can help me with this. 

Is it legal to use the pre-installed fonts that comes with Windows 10 for commercial use? I am talking about social media monetization. 

Let's say I am using a third party application in my Windows 10 laptop. It automatically show the installed fonts in my device. Is it legal to use the fonts to create text content in the design I make? I will use a photo editing software for this. The works I will make may be used as a logo, profile picture for my social media accounts, and watermarks in my video. I might also create a modified subtitles with backgrounds in a form of image using the photo editing software and import it in the video that I will share and monetize in social media platforms. 

Also, is it legal to use a microsoft font to create subtitles for my videos using a third party video editor software. (Of course, it is a softwares that automatically detect and show pre-installed fonts in a laptop)

There is no proper EULA for microsoft fonts included in windows 10. I've been searching it and the only reference I saw is this:

I hope you can help me with this. Thank you.

    It should be good to go as long as you're not reproducing the font for personal gains.

    It is the same info I've been reading...

    Btw, I won't be using Microsoft Word or any sort. But, I would be using Microsoft Paint 3D to create some artworks to incude in it as well. Can I also still leaglly use the pre-installed font (for example:calibri font) to create text context for my original designs created with Paint 3D and legally use it for commercial purpose (social media monetization)?

    Also, does the edition of Windows 10 matter? Whether you use pro or home edition?

    Hi Blueberry,

    I'm Anwille, an Independent Advisor.

    Based on the usage that you will do, yes it is allowed for those. You can read more info here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/fon...(provided%20you,treated%20individually)%20is%20not%20allowed.

    Hope this helps. Let us know if you need more assistance.
